According to Newswire TodayÂ Charlize Theron and Woody HarrelsonÂ requested eco-friendly skincare productsÂ on the set of theirÂ upcoming movie Battle in Seattle, scheduled for release on November 29, 2007.Â

TheÂ head make-up artist used organic, chemical-freeÂ skin care and make-upÂ productsÂ from aÂ website called Alchemist’sÂ Apprentice, an online apothecary that sells high end natural and organic skin care products.

According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, not onlyÂ is thereÂ “evidenceÂ link[ing]Â the pollutants and man-made chemicals that are in our environment and in products to cancer and other diseases” but “major loopholes in federal law allow the $35 billion cosmetics industry to put unlimited amounts of chemicals into personal care products with no required testing, no required monitoring of health effects, and no inadequate labeling requirements.”

Evidence also suggests thatÂ ourÂ immediate water systems andÂ environments, as well as ourÂ bodies,Â absorb significant amounts of what we put on our skin.Â Luckily, green and natural skincare products are popping up all over, and IÂ can attest thatÂ TerressentialsÂ isÂ a yummy one that does the trick!Â

Here at Ecorazzi weÂ are psyched that going green and being beautiful go hand in hand!

Not only are cosmetics sometimes dangerous to human health, but a number of major companies still test their products on animals, which is cruel and unnecesseary, given the many alternatives to product tests involving live animals.
